If 44 after 4.5 days, which is basically one half life of Te, that means your peak is somewhere around 80 - 90 nmol ... Basically you've been blasting and not on trt. I don't understand how is this approved by an endo?

I went from 250mg TEST U I.M every 4 days to Test cyp everyday SUBQ a week ago for 525mg a week , I frontloaded some too and i havent gotten nearly as much e2 sides as usual yet.
Usually if im late on a.i by 2 days on my cruise dosage i feel my nipples getting sensitive but im 3 days late and pinned 2.5x more test this week and nothing.
Just got e2 sensitive and TT done todayy, gonna have results in 2 days.
Ive read subq takes longer to absorb but im confused and on a cut and i dont wanna lose muscle

LabCorp Vs Quest free testosterone lab ranges: Why are they different?
Thanks for all the information, this is really helpful. I had no idea Labcorp only had the Direct method for Free T. I'm doing my labs through discountedlabs and I think they only use Quest Diagnostics, so that's good. Not true. Lab Corp has more than six total and free testosterone assays...

Some immunoassay platforms are basically useless above 1500 ng/dl TT and at very low TT concentrations. See plot attached. That's why major labs in US cap the results.
Without knowing the assay method we are flying blind. Would need assessment with calibrated LCMS method that does not suffer interference. Note the 1.3x multiplier on the party plot linked.

Measurement of total serum testosterone in adult men: comparison of current laboratory methods versus liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry - PubMed
The diagnosis of male hypogonadism requires the demonstration of a low serum testosterone (T) level. We examined serum T levels in pedigreed samples taken from 62 eugonadal and 60 hypogonadal males by four commonly used automated immunoassay instruments (Roche Elecsys, Bayer Centaur, Ortho...

Aren't what most people run for TT ELISA tests?

I don't have hard data but would think IA vs LCMS use is easily 10:1 for adult male patients when interesting over all health care interactions.

Total testosterone MS and Nandrolone
Is Total T MS panel specific enough to recognize a testosterone molecule from a nandrolone molecule? I know the standard non sensitive Total T panel can’t differentiate test and nandrolone and will add them together, and the Total T LC/MS/MS panel is specific enough to know the difference and...

Very high TT on low dose TRT
Hi, I am wondering if anyone else has had this or if it's even possible. Won't go into the history of my trt as it will take forever. I was doing it for 5 years and after endless tweaking of doses and regimes got fed up with the roller coaster and thought I'd give up for a bit ( initially...

Does anyone use Nandrolone (Deca Durabolin) ?
I'd have to dig up my exact numbers, but basically on daily injections of 20mg of test enanthate (140 a week), I was at total t of ~820 and free t was around 19. I had to take anastrozole 2x a week to keep my estrogen in the low 30's, which is consistently the highest I can get it without side...

Oh yes, I'm aware of nandrolone artificially elevating tt numbers, tnx.
